The care and compassion shown by everybody, from cleaning lady through to nurses and staff are exemplary. The moment you enter the home one is aware that the quiet efficiency will be reflected in the wellbeing of all the residents. I always leave feeling very humbled.

Whenever I visit the home, the staff are always polite and helpful. They also give the same care and attention to the residents. It is always good to learn about all the different activities that take place in the home and occasionally when residents are taken out by staff. There is a lovely atmosphere
whenever I go and take a service in the home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Knights' Grove is a friendly environment in which I felt incredibly welcomed as soon as I entered the building. The staff made it very clear that volunteers like myself are highly appreciated because we have the time to sit and chat to residents which can really help to lift their moods.
The home
is kept incredibly clean and is decorated nicely throughout. Also, the staff are friendly and respectful towards the residents, making sure that each resident is comfortable and satisfied throughout the day. Meals are served to the residents as if they were dining in a restaurant, which is lovely because it helps the residents to feel a sense of normality in their daily lives. Overall, Knights' Grove is a great home that provides a high standard of care, and I feel privileged that I get to volunteer alongside the lovely staff in making every day enjoyable for the residents.

Visited dad to celebrate his birthday with him. As always I was reassured and touched by the level and personalisation of care afforded to all residents. We had an uplifting visit - sharing snippets from dads life with staff and he was clearly very engaged with our conversation. I value the quality
of care and kindness shown each time I visit and am thankful father is here.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Generally, the care is good. There have been a number of changes of manager, but the current manager seems very good. The accommodation is good and there are plans to redecorate to maintain a pleasant environment. A senior nurse who works on the floor that my mother is located on is especially dedicated,
kind and efficient. As with most care homes, recruiting and retaining care staff is a challenge, but more recently this seems to have improved - perhaps because of the management stability. Communication is effective between the care home and me and reception staff are welcoming and knowledgeable. Activities staff are very committed and effective.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.936)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.936) out of 10 for Knights' Grove Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.936 for Knights' Grove Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (221 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 235 Ratings = 4.936
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Knights' Grove Care Home is based on 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 56 registered maximum number of service users is 11.2, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
